"Already Free" - Lyrics

I am my father's child
Am my father's child
Train that's bound for nowhere
Runnin' free and wild
I am my father's child

The world has passed me by
World has passed me by
See the comin' shadow
I aint got time to cry
The world has passed me by

The world has passed me, passed me by

I am already free
Am already free
Goin be like Christmas
When the devil come for me
Am already free

I'm already, already free
I'm already, already free




"Days Is Almost Gone" - Lyrics


Was a time when I was younger
I saw things get out of hand
Now I'm older in the story
I realize where I've been
It's time I finally said

These days is almost gone
These days is almost gone
These days is almost gone
Don't be late
'Cause the sun won't wait

Takin' time and patience
To turn ourselves around
And maybe it's just learnin'
To live with what we found
I love to hear the sound

When you wait too long
To get it right
Life can pass you by
The second chance
Can be you're last
I'm reachin' for the light
Yes I am

These days is almost gone
These days is almost gone
These days is almost gone
Don't be late
'Cause the sun won't wait

These days is almost gone
These days is almost gone
These days is almost gone
Don't be late
'Cause the sun won't wait

Days is almost gone (repeat to fade)
